Beyond its economic functions, a territory must therefore offer its inhabitants well-being and quality of life. It must provide what they call \u201cresidential attractiveness\u201d.\nTo stay competitive, local governments are developing ambitious city planning policies, putting attractiveness at the heart of their strategy and drawing on the new discipline of urban marketing \u2014 so great a priority has the promotion of their brand image become.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cities find themselves increasingly in competition with one another, particularly on account of globalization.
